In this step, the corporation is going to go through their internal buying process. Even though this process happens internally, it's important to be able to coach the internal champion and be a resource to their internal business case process in order to get approval.
Most internal buying is going to occur gradually as the initial pilot sees success. This means that the initial deal is going to be structured as a pilot with the understanding that it can be extended and expanded over time.
The goal is to get the PO and payment method, gather creative, submit the opp for closed won, onboard the client and introduce them to the Client Partner.
After the initial agreement is accepted, the pilot needs to be initiated along with the onboarding of the client. The Enterprise AE will be involved in this process and ensure that the onboarding team is performing properly.
Billing needs to be set up in addition to gathering the necessary content. Once these are obtained, you can then submit your opportunity for closing to your ops team.
